Mehso-so

This book wasn't awful, but it definitely has me questioning why Stephen King blurbed it, "scared the hell out of me, and I'm pretty hard to scare." I was hoping for that same feeling, but all I got out of this was a dysfunctional family with a mentally ill teen! There are questions left unanswered due to a possible possession, but I will say the ending with Marjories' last "game" made this go from a 2 star to a 3 star. She's a sneaky one.

This book was terrible.
*Horrible things are happening throughout the book*
MC: I must be dreaming this all up.....
And then me:(rolling my eyes)
Repeat!

This story was all over the place, and I just felt like nothing was really happening even though there would be climatic parts. Eventually, everything just fell flat and made no sense. Even though i highly anticipated this read, I would not recommend this book.

LiteraryinPA Oof, sounds like you took one for the team. 3mo

BooksNBowls I totally felt for Ying throughout the entire book. I could relate to her yearning for justice for her dad, and thought it was the driving force of the entire novel. Her dad‘s voice in her ear, giving her advice and guiding her along the way it seemed. I thought that was really emotional and nice. The ending was the best. It felt appropriate to Ying‘s journey, even if it might not be the ending everyone wanted or pictured. 3mo
Meshell1313 I really enjoyed this one! I liked t trying to keep guessing and figuring out if ye Yang was going to be a hero or a villain! I also loved the ending- it felt like it could have been a standalone but excited that it is actually a series. 3mo

This book was breathtaking. I refuse to imagine Ying as a boy, so this attached photo is how I pictured her in all her badass, honorable, and genius glory!!!!! All aspects of this book were well thought out, and the conclusion tied up nicely for a possible duology, which I am crossing my fingers for. If you love Fantasy with a little sizzle of some slow burn romance, political warring, and all things machines, grab a copy!

Meshell1313 Yes!!! 👏🏻 3mo
